vol.3 / July 21 - August 8
Looking at someone’s hands, I imagine that the hands will
touch
hold
love
break down
and make
things and people
My hands are not so big,
the pain exists in anywhere
I wonder if I could pick it up and hold it together with you.

Living in Yamagata, I saw the beautiful changing four seasons. Even though the situation of COVID-19, nature has changed, as usual, the tender greens sprout, and the days they grow up like a raging fire are bright. I strongly feel the strongness of the lives from them.
Recently, I often get ideas for my artworks in the fieldwork. However, the situation that we cannot travel freely brought my eyes to my close environment.
This work combines the image of the trees’ energy that spring from nature, the pattern of Japanese traditional basket called Kagome used for charm, and the silhouette of the bird believed as a messenger of God.
The pattern of Kagome means the opposite things like yin and yang, and light and darkness. It also means harmony for removing evil spirits.

“Cabin”
線画の部分はぬりえをモチーフにしています。
ぬりえは色を塗ることで完成しますが、ぬりえという存在は、線画の時点で完成しています。
私たちが、それぞれの今の状態を受容し、その瞬間をより良く生きることをこのモチーフに込めています。
色の部分は、ぬりえのための色の要素が、その輪郭線を超越していることを表しています。
いわば、意識しなくても私たちの体に備わっている、本質的な生命力をイメージして描いています。
私たちは、恒常性という体の仕組みにより、常に調和のとれた状態になるように自身を変化させ続けています。
自分の生命を守り、安定しようとする性質は、人を愛することも、傷つけることも、どちらも生み出すことができます。
今回のパンデミックにより、調和して生きていくこと、環境に合わせて変化することを強く感じ、この絵を制作しました。

Footprints made by creatures in nature, such as the path through the mountains.
April when I wanted to draw something beyond that.
Go through the forest and over the mountains.
I want you to see the scenery that you can see when you go through that road.

“The world is the other”
This work represents the relationship between oneself and the other.
The other is a light, a vehicle, a beast, and a wing to me.
A child becomes an adult by interacting with others, and without others there is no self.
This world is made up of others.

“Black Swan”
Transparent waves obscure the glass castle where people live. Those who mourn, those who are indignant, those who stand up, those who laugh. The waves washed away the sugar-coated masks that people wore. Beautiful everyday life that was spun with continuous cotton. I look back. There is no glass castle in my memory now. ..
